Yeah, people who are only tangentially aware of them likely aren’t aware that they didn’t just randomly decide to move to Japan together and start a podcast - they were scouted by a subsidiary of one of the big manga publishers, and despite operating independently are actually employed by Bookwalker/Kadokawa. For them, this is just a business expense that will generate more profit.

I am always surprised seeing how much money first world weebs throw at the hobby. The most money i've ever spent in 30 years being into anime is 10$ on an Akira Poster.
They should be grateful they're being forced to sell them now. Ten years from now they'll fill thrift stores and flea markets for a fraction of the price and they can just rebuy them all. But they won't.
You don't even see YouTubers who buy up tons of beanie babies or pogs now that they're super cheap, just for the novelty of buying something that was formerly super valuable. That's how fleeting these kinds of things are.
Does this really apply for any kind of land? They're attempting this in a desert, in a state with constant water issues, and it's unlikely they won't also be hounded by Cali ecological groups.
Well it worked for literally the entire city of Los Angeles, and Anaheim, and San Diego.
Something tells me they are compensating with the amount of nesoberis they are purchasing. 1 is enough but this is too outrageous.
Starting at 1:37: "When I first stepped into the room, all the Seventeen members, all our albums, I was taking in everything. But when I was about to sit down, I saw a huge poster of me behind the door. I was extremely happy"
While Americans are frothing at Disney/capeshit, the Asian third-worlders adopted the idolshit mentality when it comes to Kpop and I seriously cannot stand it. Watching those around turn to kpop consumerism is no better than seeing them play and spend money on Genshin.
That's the REAL reason why the dad wanted the door open.
Yes, all long existing cities that began developing before Cali's population ballooned past a point the coasts can really support anymore.
Yeah I've noticed these the last few years, it feels like they took an unrelated planned vinyl building series they were planning and packed it in with funko pops just to justify a price bump. I was tempted to get one that was a decent little model of the flintstones house to mod it into a diorama thing but never did. Also the fred one is one of thosepops they couldn't fully convertinto the soulless stare without it looking weird so you could probably mod that into a decent looking super-deformed fred just by painting in the eyes.
Nah, they're just cheap. That and I'm pretty sure Bombardier (or rather the company that absorbed them decades ago) doesn't manufacture monorail rolling stock or locomotives anymore (much less produce parts or provide service/support for them). From my (limited) understanding of modern public transport, all the (now consolidated) big names are pretty firmly focused on manufacturing high-speed rail (locos, rolling stock, track, support equipment, etc.), conventional people movers and buses; precious little time or energy is devoted to "esoteric" modes of transport. If you wanted to build a monorail system today (even a simple line with just two stops) you'd have to go shopping at smaller firms and hope they can stay solvent long enough to actually manufacture and deliver what you order.
You just know that shit's the first thing that flies off once a ratchet fight spins up. Even faster than the hair extensions.
Fun fact: prostitutes (the non-street walker kind) in Orlando have mostly migrated to Celebration, FL area hotels to host their incalls because 1) Polk county is cracking down hard on the previous popular spots on I-Drive and 2) the bigger spenders tend to be Disney-adjacent travelers versus the more common business traveler types from the convention center anyway. I wouldn't say it's "commonplace," but if you catch wind of a family visiting Disneyworld on vacation whose father/husband has "taken a bit of time for himself," he might just be off renting himself a piece of ass at a nearby Comfort Inn.
lol when has debt ever stopped a stupid idea? Besides, Disney fans bleed themselves dry feeding sustenance to the rat. The parks make so much fucking money just by themselves. It's depressing.
It pretty much does. If you don't know, this Disney community is in rural Riverside County which is basically the desert behind the mountains that are behind LA. It exists because the LA area got so goddamn expensive and crowded that people started moving all the out there (hours away from LA) in the 80s and then it took on a life of its own (330% population increase in 30 years!). I've never been there, but having been elsewhere in these relatively remote inland parts of Southern California, I guarantee it's miles and miles of dreary, bland suburban sprawl separated by occasional surviving patches of desert. Perfect place to build a planned community on, and probably even better now that California's growth has taken such a hammering these past few years making the ROI for a new community not as high as, say, Utah or Idaho or some other place infested by Californians.
